Positron Emission Tomography: A Critical Assessment of Recent Trends by Bal?zs G

Description: Positron Emission Tomography by Balázs Gulyás, Hans W. MÜller-Gärtner Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Debrecen, Hungary, 1-5 October 1996 FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A critical summary of the state of the art of PET technology and related disciplines (camera physics, radiochemistry, radiopharmacology, computerised brain atlases and databases, etc.), plus a survey of the most recent developments in the clinical and neuroscience applications of PET. The chapters systematically guide the reader from the basics of the technique - including new camera designs, new drugs, and new statistical and image processing approaches - through its most important clinical applications - in neurology, psychiatry and oncology - to the most sophisticated neuroscience applications, including research into human sensory and motor systems, the functional organisation of imagery, volition, attention and consciousness in the human brain.
